Several handwritten leaves by Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Kanievsky "the Steipler", from his book Eifat Tzedek (Bnei Brak, 1949), which he had written in the middle of the polemic of his brother-in-law the Chazon Ish with Rabbi Chaim Na'eh of Jerusalem, regarding the shiurei (measures) hamitzvot and the shiur of Agudal, Tefach and Amah. The manuscript has erasures and changes before printing the book. For example: On Page 4 the Steipler writes a comment praising the book Shi'urei Torah by Rabbi Chaim Na'eh as a "Book to study, but G-d forbid not to rule halachic conclusions from his work". In another section which was erased and not printed in Eifat Tzedek, "In regard to Rabbinic laws, he who takes the lenient opinion and calculates the measure Agudal as 2 cm. cannot be chastised as we find a few Achronim who so rule, but G-d forbid one should not practice according to lenient opinion on matters which are from the Torah (D'Oraita). [It is logical that this section was erased by the Chazon Ish who did not agree to this leniency, even for rabbinic laws]. 4 leaves, 22.5 cm. Fair-poor condition, stains and moisture damage.
